Bending Spoons is the Italian software company behind WeTransfer, Evernote, Vimeo, Eventbrite, Remini, StreamYard, and AOL, among more than 50 products that together reach 500 million monthly users. Its model is to acquire underperforming digital platforms, cut costs, rebuild the technology, and run them at scale. The numbers from that approach are difficult to argue with: 2025 revenue came in at $1.31 billion, up 95% year-over-year, and Q1 2026 revenue hit $601 million, up 132% year-over-year, with the company already profitable after swinging from a $112 million net loss in Q1 2025 to net income of roughly $28 million in Q1 2026.

The company is marketing 58 million shares at $26 to $28 each, targeting a valuation of approximately $19 billion at the top of the range under the ticker BSP. Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, and Allen & Co are the lead underwriters.

How the xStocks Tokenized IPO Works

The offering is structured as price exposure, not a direct ownership stake. xStocks clarified in a follow-up to its announcement: "IPO xStocks are tokenized equities providing price exposure only โ€” not direct ownership. Allocation is not determined by xStocks or Kraken and may be full, partial, or none; it is not guaranteed, and any funds not allocated are returned."

That distinction matters given what happened with xStocks' first tokenized IPO attempt. When SpaceX listed in June, multiple exchange campaigns (including one that drew $557 million in on-chain subscriptions on Binance alone) were canceled after xStocks could not source enough underlying SpaceX shares to fulfill subscriptions. Exchanges refunded participants and some distributed consolation token grants. CoinDesk covered the mechanics behind the gap between tokenizing a stock and actually procuring one at the time.

The offering is not available to US persons, UK, Canada, or Australia residents, and geo restrictions apply. Capital is at risk.

Bending Spoons BSP: xStocks' First IPO Offering After SpaceX

The xStocks announcement comes as Solana's tokenized equity market has been setting records. Tokenized assets surpassed memecoins as a share of Solana's daily spot volume for the first time on June 23, with daily equity trading hitting a $644 million all-time high on June 24. The Bending Spoons offering extends xStocks' footprint from secondary-market tokenized stock trading into primary-market IPO access.

Solflare, which added 134 xStocks to its wallet in its June 2026 update, is among the Alliance partners accepting applications alongside Kraken and Backpack.
